Re: The subtle disadvantages of being a FIRST Alumni

I would have to agree with Damprobot that you may be experiencing burnout so I would advise you not to work on your current personal projects since they seem to be in the areas that you may be burnt out in. Since it is difficult to really "do nothing", and if you are really ahead of your peers, you may want to consider offering to tutor some your peers. I had one schoolmate who was in the Engineering Physics program (the hardest classes from EE and ME), took graduate level courses and got over 95% in all his courses in all his 4 years. He was also incredibly humble, approachable and more generous with his time helping those of us who struggled than most of the other top students.

If you have a student loan (and even if you don't), you might consider getting a job. It will give you some cash and some real world experience working for and with other people. That would be as valuable as your FIRST experience when you are looking for employment after you graduate.

As techhelpbb suggested, figure out what gives you fulfillment. If you are doing something you find fulfilling, you can do it with passion. People who work with passion are much more likely to do better work, do something great and go further in life than those who just plod along.
